No listing in NA as of yet, but there's a chance of Greg being a harbinger.

A game many never expected to be localized looks like it's coming to the West after all, if an Australian eShop listing is any indication.

A listing for Good-Feel's Mameda no Bakeru - a spiritual successor to Konami's Goemon games that were created by the future founders of Good-Feel - has been spotted in the Australian eShop quoting a localized name of "Bakeru", a release date of September 3 and a regular AUD$60 price tag (with a 10% preorder discount). At current market rates, this would translate to a $40 US price tag. Spike Chunsoft has confirmed they will be publishing the game, and it will release in all Western territories that day.

The irreverent Japanese historical-themed action title has been discussed on Radio Free Nintendo episodes 884 and 885, though Spike Chunsoft has confirmed the Western version will add new attacks and a new boss fight.

The demo is now available on the North American eShop and I gave it a go.  It feels like a Nintendo game, which is obviously a good thing.  I guess that makes sense since Good Feel has recently worked on Nintendo games.  The controls feel tight and the gameplay is smooth.  I thought it was quite fun.  The demo has four levels, two being the normal gameplay, one shooter level, and one mech fight.
